How do you capture a lightening bolt like that? Is there a trick, or just good luck?

Use long shutter speeds if your camera allows it mate.

I call it the 3 P's technique. Preparation, patience and perseverance.

Preparation: you have to have the right gear for the job. Tripod, camera with long shutter speed capabilities and for me a wireless trigger system for camera.

Patience: a storm with a lot of electricity doesn't come along every day. And you don't always have time to devote to photographing it.

Perseverance: lots and lots of frames with no lightening. Stay with it.

When I have gotten my best lightening shots they have come at night. Easier for your camera to use longer shutter speeds. During daylight hours I have to use neutral density filters to achieve longer shutter speeds.



The photo above is actually a still frame from video! . Some may call that cheating. But I was on the clock with my video camera and a storm was approaching. Slight post processing.

I took these on the abandoned Reading Viaduct in Philly.
It took some searching to find access, but eventually I did.

Since they closed Sabine St. Bridge here in Houston in preparation for tonight's fireworks show I took the opportunity of the zero traffic last night and did a bit of photography... That damn street lamp however.

Street light and construction crane. But still looks great to me. Hoping a get a few spare minutes on my vacation in a couple weeks to dust off my camera.
